Cabbage, Carrot & Avocado Salad

This is a very simple salad, and yes, the lack of local veggies is showing. However, throwing in some soft, rich avocado balances the crunchiness of the carrots and cabbage very well.

6 servings15 minutes

2 large carrots4 cups finely chopped savoy cabbage2 medium avocados

the juice of 1 large lemon1/3 cup sunflower seed oilsalt & pepper

Peel and grate the carrots, and chop the cabbage finely. Peel the avocados and cut them in dice. Mix the veggies with the lemon juice, sunflower seed oil, and salt and pepper to taste. That's it; you're done. Bon appetit.
